This image diagrams capacitive and inductive circuits,
with capacitive reactance predominante in capacitive circuits with voltage lagging/current leading in a capacitive circuit, and
with inductive reactance predominante in inductive circuits with voltage leading/current lagging in an inductive circuit.
Resistance is at a 90 degree angle to the opposite capacitive and inductie vectors.

This image diagrams the relationship between an applied voltage and the
magnetic field produced, indicating that over some voltage magnetic field
strength no longer is increased (the magnetic material is saturated).

This image diagrams the relationship between an applied voltage and the
current flow produced along with a given magnetic field in magnetic material,
indicating that over some given voltage (when the magnetic field strength
no longer is increased because the magnetic material is saturated) the current
increase is potentially infinite.
